As I sit here eagerly anticipating warm days, I can’t think of a color I’m more excited to wear this spring than lavender. I just can’t get enough of it! I don’t take that proclamation lightly, either. I’ve never been a “purple” person– in fact, I two friends growing up who had adopted it as their personal signature hue– so I had long associated the color as “belonging” to someone else, while I stayed with my navy blues and greens.

Suddenly, everywhere I see it now, it speaks to me! I love the scent of lavender (I even use a pillow spray with that calming scent) and I learned in Lucky Magazine that Sophia Coppola wore it in her wedding, and now I think I also associate it great affection I had for those friends. There are so many pretty dresses this season shown in this hue, and it has the wonderful quality of being a flower/herb(?), hue, and scent, which can add so much dimension to your wedding decor. If you’re still trying to pick your colors, I urge you to consider the lovely lavender!

Did I convince you that lavender is the color for you? You can search more Lavender Dresses from Dessy or search by color at Weddington Way, and I also have a bushel of them below. These selected lavender dresses would be good bridesmaids alternatives or some of the cocktail styles would be appropriate for a guest to wear. Some of the flirty (short!) styles would be good for a shower or bachelorette party.
